Say you want to boost TRT with a SARM cycle. Would RAD make sense? LGD supposedly hurts cholesterol, ostarine gyno, etc.
None of them have been researched on humans for long-term effects. If you must add something, pick an oral steroid that has been researched and even prescribed medically like anavar, turinabol, anadrol, etc. Or just run more test.

The issue guys here will have with your question is you are asking for safety of substances that haven’t been studied much. Though AAS compounds all carry risk, the risk is mostly know. SARMS have the upside of not landing you in trouble with the law, so there’s that. I’ve done some research on LGD and Ostarine. I’ve tried both prior to TRT, Ostarine gave me an effect similar to anavar, maybe a tad better. I was able to get pharma anavar from my TRT clinic so I never looked back. Might be something to consider is finding a TRT clinic that will prescribe other compounds.
Right, I think anavar seems safer, too. Lots can go wrong messing with this stuff.
Lots can go wrong with AAS too. Either is a gamble. Guys on here don’t love SARMS. Might want to try other sites for more info. I can just tell you personal experience. No noticeable sides but I didn’t do bloods. I don’t do bloods on blast either though, just when I’m re upping my TRT script. I did have some gains, and didn’t have to buy them illegally. A lot to be said about that. We know we take risks either way, best you can do is calculate the best options for yourself. I may try again down the line as a supplement. Peptides can go hand in hand in these conversations, most of the GH boosting stuff is bunk, don’t waste your money. I’ve done cjc/ipa no effect. Did real HGH and saw fat melt without cardio. But I also had a lot of joint and nerve pain with real stuff. Worth it still for me.
Guys buy SARMs because they’re easy to get on the grey market of overseas supplement shops. But some of those same shops sell epistane, which is one of the most fantastic designer steroids out there. It blows away any SARM you can think of and has a lot more years under its belt in terms of what to expect.
Is epistane as safe as anavar?
I think they’ll all affect lipids and lower SHBG. I’ve tried LGD with my TRT & noticed a little bump in the gym. Var was much better, but they have similar sides so I’d rather use the stronger of the two.
RAD I tried but I didn’t like. Mentally didn’t feel awesome, almost like low e2 feelings.
Anyway, which ever one you try, you may need to increase the frequency of your TRT to compensate. I go from 2x per week to EOD when I run Var
Depends on what you mean by safe. Both will be tough on lipids. Epistane is somewhere in the middle when it comes to hepatotoxicity, anavar is much lower on that scale. But anavar can beat up your kidneys if you’re not staying hydrated etc. Of the two anavar is superior IMO, but within the context of how I presented them (a supplement vendor vs a UGL) obviously epistane has some advantages.
